This week in Lunch menu Ideas, I thought of doing an out of the box menu which is not traditional and unique. So I have selected this yummy menu with Spring Onion Sambar, Capsicum Kootu, Raw Banana Fry and Poricha rasam.

As I have already mentioned in my Spring Onion Sambar recipe, this is very unique and tasty sambar with a nice flavour of spring onions and spring onion leaves. Green Capsicum is another healthy and yummy fruit. Capsicum dishes are too delicious especially capsicum stew which goes well with any sambar rice. Any stir-fry vegetable would always suit sambar and rasam. This week I have used raw banana. We can also use potato, ladysfinger, kovakkai etc. Finally I decided to make poricha rasam. We always tend to do traditional tomato/dal rasam and so I decided to do poricha rasam. Finally serve this yummy menu with hot steaming rice and papad and enjoy your wonderful menu.

Sambar, kootu needs dal and hence we need to pressure cook the dal. Spring onions, capsicum and raw banana gets cooked very quickly so preparing this menu needs only less time compared to other lunch menus. Enjoy this simple and tasty lunch menu and share your thoughts!
